The Venetian Marco Polo visited Hangzhou in the late 13th century and
described the city as
"beyond dispute the finest and the noblest in the world." (马克坡罗：“世界上最唯美丽的天城。”)3: Leifeng Pagoda (雷锋塔)
- Tower of Thunder and Wind.
Numerous philosophers or politicians, including the
most celebrated poets in Chinese history - Su Shi (苏轼), came
to Hangzhou to live.
Su Shiwas responsible for constructing a pedestrian
causeway across the West Lake that still bears his name: sudi (蘇堤).
西湖由五个湖组成：西里湖，小南湖，岳湖，外湖和里湖五部分。
湖中有三岛：三潭印月，湖心亭，阮公墩。
